After putting on the gray dress and blue shawl, Bai Yueyue, though extremely unwilling, still got into the car with Li Jieyue.
Looking at the ever-changing scenery outside the window, Bai Yueyue couldn't believe that she was actually going to her new home.
Ah, although I've made up my mind to face everything calmly, please don't be in such a hurry! You didn't even discuss it with me! That's too much!
"Mother, I don't think there's any need to rush," Bai Yueyue said, hugging Li Jieyue's arm affectionately as she looked at her sitting next to her. "I might have forgotten to bring some things."
"It's alright," Li Jieyue comforted her with a smile. "We're not selling the villa. We're just moving so you can get used to this lifestyle. If you forget anything, just have someone bring it over."
Actually, I don't really want to get used to it! With a helpless sigh, Bai Yueyue felt particularly resentful, wondering why she always encountered such troublesome things.
"But Yueyue, there's something you need to be careful about." Li Jieyue seemed to remember something important and woke Bai Yueyue, who was trying to drift off into her own thoughts.
"Hmm?" Bai Yueyue looked at Li Jieyue with a puzzled expression.
“At the manor, I brought back my former personal servant from your grandfather’s place. Now she’s the manor’s head butler. Yueyue, you must behave very well in front of her and remember what I’ve taught you.” Li Jieyue’s expression was somewhat complicated when she mentioned that person. It wasn’t that she disliked her, but she was worried about whether Bai Yueyue could accept her strictness.
“…Mother, you shouldn’t have told me this,” Bai Yueyue said, looking at Li Jieyue making a puffed-up hamster face. “It makes me very nervous.”
“It’s okay,” Li Jieyue said, putting on a reassuring expression. “I was nervous too.”
Oh, Mother, please don't say such unreliable things! Your expression is unsettling too!
Li Jieyue was telling the truth. After all, she had spent more time with the other person than with her parents, and even her words and actions were shaped by the other person's upbringing.
However... after eloping with Bai Zhenhao for more than 20 years, I have long forgotten a lot of the lessons he taught me, of course, only the details. And since we haven't seen each other for so long, I'm bound to be nervous.
Finally, in a tense atmosphere, they arrived at the manor.
Before she even got out of the car, Bai Yueyue saw that there were already quite a few people dressed as maids and butlers waiting at the entrance of the manor.
Oh no, I'm so socially awkward! What should I do? Should I just teleport back?
"Mom, let's go back first, next time...next time!" Bai Yueyue's tone even changed because of her nervousness. She usually wasn't nervous around other people, but facing nearly three hundred people at once! That must have been nerve-wracking!
"No, Yueyue, keep your composure and smile, we're getting off the bus." Li Jieyue said as the bus stopped.
"It's all ruined, it's all ruined. Realizing there's no escaping it, Bai Yueyue gritted her teeth and followed Li Jieyue out of the car after the other person opened the door."
Fortunately, thanks to Li Jieyue's previous guidance, although Bai Yueyue's palms were sweating with nervousness, she still appeared calm and composed on the surface.
"Madam, Miss, welcome home. I have arranged for the rooms to be prepared to welcome you back." The person in the lead was a woman who was nearly sixty years old, and she was bowing to Li Jieyue and Bai Yueyue.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Zhao Shuli. You're as reliable as ever." Li Jieyue looked at the person in front of her with a faint smile.
Bai Yueyue also sized up the other person. This must be the person her mother was talking about. He looks so kind. My mother must be trying to scare me.
"Thank you for your praise, Madam." After Zhao Shuli finished her bow, she stepped aside. Those around her, having witnessed Zhao Shuli's actions, also stepped aside, leaving Li Jieyue and Bai Yueyue in the center.
Li Jieyue nodded gently and took the lead with light steps. Seeing this, Bai Yueyue followed Li Jieyue's instructions and tried to act like a young lady from a novel.
Zhao Shuli followed five steps behind Bai Yueyue, and it was obvious that the latter's posture was much more professional than Bai Yueyue's.
That's inevitable, the other party has so much more experience than me!
In short, Bai Yueyue experienced for the first time the difference between this place and the villa; at least in the villa, no one would follow her.
Furthermore, no one would open every door for her. Bai Yueyue saw Li Jieyue keep walking forward, and she wouldn't stop even if the door was closed.
After all, the gatekeeper would silently open the door before Li Jieyue arrived, ensuring that the group's speed would not slow down or stop.
Finally, when they arrived at the fireplace, Li Jieyue sat down in the armchair first. When Bai Yueyue saw this and was about to sit down in the armchair opposite Li Jieyue, Zhao Shuli stopped her.
"Miss, your seat is next to Madam's; that seat is for Master," Zhao Shuli whispered a reminder.
"Ah, sorry." Bai Yueyue apologized subconsciously. She was used to sitting on the sofa with her parents in the villa, and this was the first time she had been in a place like this, so she couldn't get used to it for a while.
Zhao Shuli looked at Bai Yueyue and gave her the same smile as Li Jieyue.
Eek! How scary! She's definitely angry! Bai Yueyue finally understood where her mother's dangerous smile came from.
But I just sat in the wrong seat, why am I so angry?
Bai Yueyue's posture and the way she sat down were not problematic, as evidenced by the fact that Zhao Shuli's dangerous smile had become somewhat benevolent.
